SAVOY COCKTAIL BOOK THE by Harry Craddock
Synonymous with style, elegance and sophistication, the Savoy is unsurprisingly also the birthplace of some of the most famous cocktails in the world. During the 1920s and '30s, prohibition-dodging Americans visiting London for tea-dances and "mixed drinks" (cocktails), made the bar at the Savoy their home. Here they were entertained by legendary American barman Harry Craddock, inventor of the White Lady and populariser of the Dry Martini. Originally published in 1930, the Savoy Cocktail Book features 750 of Harry's most popular recipes. It is a fascinating record of the cocktails that set London alight at the time - and which are just as popular today. Taking you from Slings to Smashes, Fizzes to Flips, and featuring art deco illustrations, this book is the perfect gift for any budding mixologist or fan of 1930s-style decadence and sophistication. Updated with a new introduction and recipes from The Savoy.
Craddock, Harry: - Harry was born in Shelbyville, Tennessee. He was the youngest of three children, the only boy, the baby by thirteen years (spoiled rotten), and the product of a loving, Christian family. He graduated high school, worked his way through the Navy and other jobs before landing a management job. Now, at 77 years of age, he has two sons, a daughter-in-law, seven grandchildren, three grandsons-in-law, and eight great-grandchildren - all of whom live within 175 miles of each other. Needless to say, considering his upbringing and since his family members live so close to each other, Christmas get-togethers are reasonably raucous and an enormous amount of fun. Celebrating Christmas is meant to share some of this merriment and what Christmas is all about.
